I will be heading out on Friday morning, January 12th. Let me know if you are going, and maybe we can get a Smart Women group together for this fantastic life changing event!

Last week Jill and I presented a “Powerful Transitions” career/job workshop with Lesley Delgado of StaffPro America for Leadership Oakland. Our trio presented practical tips and strategies for professional presentation, resume and interview preparation for those in job transition in the greater Detroit area. We followed up the workshop with 15 minute “Smart Laser Coaching” sessions for over 30 people! Amazing shifts can happen in just a few minutes, if the right questions are asked! The event was a “good news” story, a way to support a community that has experienced continued job losses. By assisting those in the job market be their very best, everyone wins! “Smart Laser Coaching” is available to companies, organizations and universities. Contact jill@smartwomenscoaching.com.

The Society of Automotive Engineers hosted a Career Day at Cobo Hall on Tuesday, October 17, 2006 in conjunction with the 3-day conference — “Convergence 2006”.  Convergence brings together the world’s leading electronics technologists, engineers, and business executives to discuss significant topics related to the future of electronics in automobiles. Professional career coach, Jill Jordan, delivered a 1-hour presentation for the SAE members, entitled, “Make Your Technical Experience Work for You”.  Jill and her partner at Smart Women’s Coaching, Cynthia Zimber, also offered SAE members and job seekers an opportunity to have a complimentary resume and interview critique through their “Smart 15-Minute Laser Coaching” session.   They helped candidates present themselves in a more powerful way in order to sell their strengths and unique capabilities to potential employers.  One gentleman left the Career Fair with a second interview with a decision maker – stating that he wouldn’t have gotten the opportunity if he hadn’t been coached on how to present himself to the company!

Last week, Jill presented to Deloitte’s, Women’s Network Group at the Wintergarden in the Renaissance Center.  Her presentation, “Enhancing Your Professional Presence to WIN More Business”, was followed by a fashion show from Talbot’s, and then Allison Vaughn, CEO and founder of Jacket for Jobs, presented what their organization does — helps disadvantaged women and men dress for their interview.  They collected suits and business attire from the 150+ women in attendance.  Talk about another “woman who has re-invented herself” – Alison is another role model. 

Founder of Smart Women’s Coaching, Katana Abbott, and her two partners, Cynthia Zimber and Jill Jordan have been presenting to women at local companies and organizations – promoting their Smart Women Coaching organization that helps women re-invent themselves in order to live with purpose, passion and prosperity.  These 3 coaches believe that women oftentimes get “stuck” in their lives and could use support and inspiration to “re-invent” themselves.

Recently Katana, Cynthia and Jill spoke to the Detroit chapter of The Fashion Group International at Edison’s, downtown Birmingham.  The presentation, “Is That All There Is?” was in a Q & A format lead by Carolyn Joseph, co-owner of the upscale, resale shop in Royal Oak, “Bellocchio”.  Each presented her personal story on reinventing herself and then answered questions on the type of support they offer as a Wealth Coach, a Perfect Life Coach, and a Personal Branding Coach.  Attendees shared what they enjoyed about the interactive evening – the overriding theme was, “The Smart Women Coaches presented genuine, real life stories from their experience and offered encouragement and motivation to embrace new personal and/or professional perspectives”.
